ok i tested the boot animation again with the resized pictures in a jpg format. the size is now 480x360 because i kept the original ratio, and i made the desc.txt 480x360 at 15fps. i converted everything to .jpg and i removed the audio. i used the liberty toolbox to flash it then i confirmed it was in the right spot using root explorer. i rebooted and all that appeared was a blank screen... any suggestions?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mattmartin77:
i really would like an answer, bump
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Explodee:
Make sure when putting all the files/images/desc file into the zip you set the compression method to STORE and not NORMAL. When my bootanims were just a black screen this is what fixed it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mattmartin77:
thank you for your help, but how to I change my compression method?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DrakenFX:
if you are using WINRAR do the follow :

1- select the folders and file to compress

2- right click on you mouse/touch pad (in case you are using a laptop like me LoL)

3- select " add to archive"

4- there you can change you compression method from normal to store

5- add a name to the file and select ZIP

6- click OK

7- you're done.

if you are using 7zip is pretty much the same steps from winrar...

hope that helps
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mattmartin77:
thank you so much it works now! im going to put a few finishing touches on it and post it up!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DrakenFX:
Super ..... hope to see your animation soon
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mattmartin77:
a few things for future reference though,

1. what is a good gif creator? i have tried at least 10 websites and at least 6 programs and none do what i want efficiently. i want to open all 220 frames at once and make an animation rather than opening each individually like i had to.

2. what is a good video to jpg creator? i had to go frame by frame and take snapshots for my entire animation last time and i took like 2 hours:/
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DrakenFX:
1 - Animated GIF Producer and Ulead GIF Animator so far are the best out there

2 - Video to JPG converter is my favorite and the best for bootanimations.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mattmartin77:
thank you, thread can be closed.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masInvasion:
I was wondering when we will see some custom kernels, I'm hoping for a stock frequency with ulv voltages kernel?

I cant wait to get some extra battery life out of the Thunderbolt:)

Are Devs waiting on the kernel source code? and if so are there any work-arounds until its released?

I'm kinda new to XDA, Sorry if this should be posted elsewhere.

I just looked at the general section and I see questions relating to development there, sorry for posting in the wrong section.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jballz0682:
Best way to do this would be using the kernel source which we are at the mercy of HTC to provide for us. Also, this belongs in the Thunderbolt General forum not in the Development forum.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bikeandestroyx:
I am pretty sure we need the source code for this first.

Also next time you should post this in general :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masInvasion:
Yea I figured it was a Dev question but I just realized Questions aren't posted in this section
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masInvasion:
Where are MOD requests posted, for future reference?

Is it in the general section, it just seems like they get lost in the collection of threads?

It would be nice if the dev section had a sub section for request.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperFly03:
Agreed. We need the source code first then a few weeks for the code monkeys to do their awesome thing.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApplCobbler:
You hear that, devs?! YOU'RE ALL ON NOTICE: masInvasion wants a custom kernel, NOW!

Quit sitting around working your nine to fives and feeding your nerdy dogs! You've got code to write!

Looks like PayPal has a contest out for developing a PayPal app for android.

Details here PayPal X Developer Challenge for Android
[Android Software Development] :
Anyone check the validity of this? LOL.
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
Yeah pretty sure it's legit -- been widely reported since March 3rd --entries due ------

edit:

Applications must be submitted no later than May 14, 2011.
[Android Software Development] kccasey:
But they already have a PayPal app out. I don't get it or understand this.
[Android Software Development] elgubbo:
i guess its not supposed to be a paypal app, but an app that uses paypal for payments...
[Android Software Development] antonio1475:
I just read it but I don't get what exactly are they looking for
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
I think the easiest way to think about it is that they want an app that is basically an advertisement for in-app payments using paypal.

So your app can do whatever, but it needs to have the user buy something in the app using paypal and showcase how "awesome" paypal is for that purpose.

Kinda lame if you ask me. These apps could easily cost them $200k-$500k if they had a real advertising agency develop it. Seems like one of those contests where they are just crowdsourcing their work.

But if someone makes something and wins, kudos to that dev.
[Android Software Development] :
Yeah, just "something" doesn't feel right...that's a lot of coin.

And how does one make this "flashy" "gotta have this" app. Jesus christ, just add it with menu button. I'm not cluttering my app UI up with a floating, recurring PayPal button or whatever they want.
[Android Software Development] rastanthology:
Very interesting contest. I might give it a shot, but I really don´t like this part of the terms:

In the event that an Entrant registers for the Contest but does not submit an Application, PayPal reserves the right to publish the idea associated with the registration after the Application Submission Deadline for the benefit of the developer community. If an Entrant who does not submit an Application by the Application Submission Deadline does not want the idea associated with the Entrant's registration published to the developer community after the Application Submission Deadline, Entrant must notify PayPal by email to h@x.com before the Application Submission Deadline.

So in the event that I don´t have the app ready for the deadline paypal gets my app rights? its like the terms are really specific in that part, and it doesn´t give a lot of peace that to avoid this I have to send a notification to someone not to do it...

did anyone dug into this?
[Android Software Development] :
I dug into it enough to think that if they can pay-out 25 large for an app, they could develop something in-house for a lot less!
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Has anyone else started getting Facebook push notifications??? I haven't updated the Facebook app since a week or two ago, but as of last night I started getting pushes.

Anyone else?
[Epic 4G General] i n00b teh pwns:
I did as well and mine hasn't been updated either.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
i haven't gotten any except for a random chat message that i got while i was still online on my computer.
[Epic 4G General] lafronz:
I did as well. Either EC05 fixed it or Facebook tweaked something on their end. I did a double take when one popped up lol
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Wasn't EC05 since I am still on EB13.
[Epic 4G General] MojoSwag:
I was using Flow to get my notifications but last night I updated to EC05 and all of a sudden my fb app notifications started pushing again. Maybe they finally got their act together.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Is there a setting or does it just do it automatically? I have the latest fb update and I'm on EB13 but don't get push notifications.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
IIRC you have to enable it through the app options.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
When I go into settings all I see is Refresh Interval, I have it set to 2 hours but I don't see an option to enable push notifications..Am I missing something? :confused:
[Epic 4G General] faceless:
yeah, i got a notification just now on EB13.. i thought it was the update, but it was just facebook.. grrrrr!
[Epic 4G General] biscojams:
I got one today , first time in a while. EB13
[Epic 4G General] lafronz:
I wonder if sprint had them turn off the feature because of dk28 being leaked (remember it worked at first) and now that there is an official non-pulled version of Froyo (since only 2.2+ supports push notifications) they turned it back on... just a thought.
[Epic 4G General] lafronz:
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but the timing seems a little too coincidental to me.
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
Wouldn't surprise me.
[Epic 4G General] VeNoM vZ:
mine doesnt work, any ideas why? do i have to change any settings?
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
Are you expecting it to notify you of Likes? It won't.

Otherwise, there's nothing to set AFAIK. I did turn off the update interval though.
[Epic 4G General] VeNoM vZ:
No, not Likes, more like on comments made on my status update or even chat.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Its not supported yet which is a joke. You only get notified of messages and event invites.
[Epic 4G General] pixiedust7976:
I wasn't getting the facebook push and neither was my husband, but after updating to E05 we are now getting the push notifications. We also had an update from facebook so I am not sure which enabled the push again.
[Epic 4G General] VeNoM vZ:
yeah mine doesnt even work for messages :/
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
If you're rooted, try uninstalling then reinstalling.

At the very least, see if clearing the all cache helps.
[Epic 4G General] VeNoM vZ:
Thanks ill try that when i get home.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
you mean by removing it with titanium? the whole reboot twice and irrevocably removing app thing?
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
I'm not saying it'll definitely work, but it's worth a shot. Uninstalling removes old gunk. You should probably also reboot in between too, just in case.
[Epic 4G General] dchawk81:
I've never used titanium...just SDX. I just think getting all the gunk off there might help.

I had it uninstalled for the longest time, then when I saw this thread I downloaded it from the market and it worked.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitall76:
With Google Voice on my Droid, I always used to have a static phone number that all my outgoing phone calls went out through. Of course, I put that on my Friends & Family list, and it kept my minutes down. Now, on the Thunderbolt, using the same apk file, I am now get different outgoing phone numbers almost every time that I dial out.

Is there any way to get the old system back?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJnc284:
Not unless you can find the apk for when they changed it to vary the outgoing numbers more often. Before that update it changed every couple of months, after it was all over the place
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitall76:
Thanks, I totally forgot that I had the old apk file. That worked like a charm.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjkusa:
Can we get a copy of the old apk?
[Droid Incredible General] Chris1051:
Sorry if this has been discussed. I used unrevoked to get super user access to my incredible and now want to delete that stupid slacker radio, vcast, and VZW navigator crap. Do I have to install a rom? I like sense and don't like messing too much with the phone. I have been running stock software on it for almost a year and only just now rooted using unervoked to install a screenshot app. I hate those bloatware apps with a passion but have put up with them ... now that I have root access I can't uninstall using the normal means. Is there a workaround to get rid of them without installing a rom?
[Droid Incredible General] I Am Marino:
You can install custom ROMs that basically mirror the stock ROM but it has bloatware removed. Just look carefully.
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
The sticky at the top of the forum links to a lot of FAQ's like this one

In particular:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Incredible/Guides&Tutorials#Removing_Bloat

Even easier, you can use Titanium Backup to do it. Or Root Explorer. Or pretty much any app that can write to the system partition with SU access.
[Droid Incredible General] Chris1051:
Oh and sorry I am using tapatalk and couldn't find the search feature to reply in thread about bloatware. Accept my apology.
[Droid Incredible General] Deleted member 2776902:
Or, if you don't mind wiping. You can install Nothing Special.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=976933

It's a stock rom with bloat already removed.
[Droid Incredible General] i8qbert:
This is the easiest way IMHO.
[Droid Incredible General] Chris1051:
Ok. So if I flash will I get VZW OTA if they push it out of 2.3? ... since I rooted using unrevoked, but if I don't flash will I get the OTA to 2.3?

Guess I'm just worried ill brick it. This thing is my pride and joy and if I broke it I would cry.
[Droid Incredible General] I Am Marino:
It's almost impossible to brick, it's become so easy to flash roms, root, etc.
[Droid Incredible General] i8qbert:
Just factory reset if you want to go back. Kinda the point of flashing is to get the latest greatest before it is released. Oh, all all those goodies I am sure they will omit.
[Droid Incredible General] phaze one:
The devs here are beating the piss out of VZW OTA's. Just flash a custom 2.3 ROM.
[Nook Color General] leorob:
samuelhalff has posted info on a Bottom Status Bar.

Unless I'm missing something, the flashable files are meant for the emmc versions.

The only file of yours I have used is the one posted by racks11479 in his post regarding SD Card files.

He warns that using anything else will flash the emmc, which is what I want to avoid.

So my question remains....What if any of your Bottom Status Bar flashes will work on SD card installations without disturbing the internal memory?

If this exists, please point me to it. If not, just let me know.

Will TetherGPS (Lite or Full) work with any ROMs on the GTab. Would love to have a 10inch GPS.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acomiskey:
Dont see why not, but the only reason that came out was because the nook color had no bluetooth (at the time), which the gtab has.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidHam:
how does bluetooth help with GPS? I guess im missing something
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acomiskey:
Bluetooth tether to get gps from your phone or from bluetooth gps receiver.

Tethergps is a client/server app which sends gps data over 2 wifi tethered android devices. For example, I wifi tether my droid x to my nook color, and send gps info from droid x to nook color.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
TetherGPS does not wok on VEGAn 5.1.1 on the Gtablet. If I remember correctly, someone tried it on one of the TnT-lite variants as well with no success.

ShareGPS (on an android phone) and BluetoothGPS on the tablet will work for GPS data from the phone to the tablet over a bluetooth connection. Then WiFi tether for data.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efishta:
An alternative would be to get a cheap Bluetooth GPS receiver and pair it with the gtab, and use one of several utilities in the market to feed the data to a mapping application of your choice. Kinda how we used to do it in the ppc PDA days.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morseja:
Thanks I can pair the 2 but, I can not get the phone and GTab to talk to each other. I do have a BT GPS and it pairs it to the GTab. What utility would you suggest to start with to get the GPS to match with the navigation software.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlbdroid:
For Turn-by-Turn, why do you still need WiFi?

I bought the external GPS receiver, and Google Maps work, but to get turn-by-turn, I have to WiFi tether to my Droid phone. Why?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Navigation needs connectivity to setup the route. Once the route is setup and 'cached' you can drop your connection, so long as you don't vary from the route. Any re-calculation needs connectivity.

for off-line navigation try Co-Pilot. It's pretty cheap (I Think $5.00 for USA). It stores the map files on your SDcard so no connectivity is needed.

Also, I'm pretty sure the latest google maps starts storing maps tiles locally as you drive around. Thus, the more you use it, the less dependent you are on a live connection.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramerco:
+1 for bluetooth gps receiver, bluegps to interface, and co-pilot for nav.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionclaw:
I believe I've tracked down the FC problem. Give this APK a try. You will only need to install it on your tablet. The server on the phone is unchanged.

This is the lite version, but it includes a full client. If this works I'll push an update to the market for both versions.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandman45654:
I've got TetherGPS working on my Viewsonic g tablet running Brilliant Corners 1.2! The trick, you have to disable "Automatic Broadcast IP" and specify the servers (phones) ip address instead. I have a feeling this will work on other roms too!

1. Enable "use gps satellites" on both devices and enable "allow mock locations" on the tablet.

2. Download and install the latest version of TetherGPS on both devices and Wireless Tether on the phone.

3. Create a network using Wireless Tether. After tethering, the IP address you need can be found in Wireless Tether under menu>access control

4. Run TetherGPS on the phone and uncheck "Automatic Broadcast IP" and enter the IP address from step three into "Broadcast IP" and click Start Server.

5. Run TetherGPS on tablet and select Start Client.

6. Once you have it up and running put the widgets on both devices :-)

Now that (hopefully) everything is working all you have to do next time you want to use this is

1. Start Wireless Tether and establish a connection from tablet.

2. Click TetherGPS server widget on phone.

3. Click TetherGPS client widget on tablet.

Hope this works for you too,

Sandman

+1 Share GPS on my HTC Inspire 4G. BluetoothGPS4Droid on my GTab running TNT Lite 4.4. Works like a charm!

Make sure Bluetooth is on on both devices. Make sure you have WiFi on your GTab (to load maps). I use the WiFi Tether program on my HTC Inspire 4G. Start ShareGPS on phone it will be "listening" and watch for the GPS coordinates to show up. Start BluetoothGPS4Droid on GTab, choose the phone device listed on top of settings, select check mark on SiRF GPS, set retrys to 5 and then select Start/Stop GPS. Phone should then recognize the GTab name and show connected. If not, select menu on ShareGPS and connect to. (You should see your device listed but you also have the option to pair if not listed)

Give it up to 1 min to acquire satellites and launch whatever mapping program you use... Enjoy~
[Galaxy Tab General] de5gravity:
Hello people :D

I am looking to buy a tablet, and I can not afford the newest one simply because they are too expensive.

I may be able to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and I was wondering if it was still worth it.

Is it the screen very responsive? Is it fast? Is 2.3 that important and should I look for a newer one, or is this product still good in terms of browsing the web, documents, some games, music?

And between this and the Toshiba Folio, bearing in mind the Folio is much cheaper, which would you pick? (or do you have another suggestion? I live in France)

Thank you for your answers :)
[Galaxy Tab General] {Diemex}:
i've never heard of the folio before. i just googled it, hands off!

I also have little money. that's why i first imported the nook color (250$ + 120€ (shipping & german tax & customs)), its a very good tablet, bit I had problems with the display and I wanted a tablet with more connectivity (3g, gps, camera etc.)

I've sold the nook and bought the sgt used for 295€ at ebay.de.

it actually was cheaper than importing the nook and I hope that I will be happy with it.

I dont recommend any cheap android tablets, they all have a big list of cons. the only cheap android tablet you can get is the nook, but its only cheap if you live in the us.

i dont have my sgt yet, but from what i hear and i read its seams to be the most capable and cheapest high quality tablet out there.
[Galaxy Tab General] olyloh6696:
The folio is highly recommended not to get! trust me toshiba sucks in the mobile industry. it has many bugs reported just like my TG01. They even cancelled the product line up here in the UK. Personlly i find my tab slow + laggy. You need a dual core tablet to power the mighty screen. I would get the HTC Flyer if i were you.
[Galaxy Tab General] filterking:
Mine flys

Stock the tab is fast enough to get work done. I did the KhasMek Voodoo Plus v3 OC kernal mod and the tab flys now. I have a Xoom also and this kernal for the SGT made it faster than my Xoom. The screen is also very responsive. Personally I think this is a fantastic tablet it just works with no fuss. Although, if I keep messing with it, that may no longer be the case.:) Mine is running 2.2 and I have no desire to put 2.3 on it any time soon. Not that it means allot Quadrant is running between 2100 and 2300 for my SGT. My Xoom runs it 1800 to 1900.

Good luck in your search.
[Galaxy Tab General] waltah!:
I just got my Sprint Tab a couple of days ago and I love it. I already had an iPad but wanted something different and more portable. Its plenty fast and responsive and just really seems to hit the sweet spot for me.
[Galaxy Tab General] bthoven:
I replace my Archos 70 8GB with Galaxy Tab Wifi ($390.- at local shop in Bangkok). It is much better than my Archos which I think it was a great product.

The screen is very responsive and the LCD quality is excellent (PLS technology).

I don't find it laggy at all. Only negative area is it can't play HD video. (Galaxy Tab 3G use more powerful CPU/Chip). It's superb in other areas.
